The first thing I tried was mixing Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Fair foundation with one of their Chenille eyeshadows. It worked pretty well... but I had the same problem with it that I had with bM the first time I tried it -- not enough coverage.
PROS:
- Color actually matched my face
- Felt good
- Not enough coverage
- My face looked shiny the whole time (even though loose powders should dry you out...?)
- Slid off my face after a few hours, even after using my primer
- Face also had a bit of a chalky/dead appearance
And now for my favorite combination... that I just had the pleasure to try out today:
So the Revlon Colorstay is the same foundation that I've been using for a few months now. I've been really pleased with it, other than the fact that it was a good 2-3 shades too dark for me (at the very least). And when another lj user gave me quite a few white foundation recommendations, I started looking. I found the Face Atelier one on camerareadycosmetics.com and I was totally impressed with the samples, so I bought on in Zero Minus. I just got it last night and I dumped the whole little container into my Revlon Colorstay in Fair and it is the perfect color.
PROS:
- Perfect shade
- Great application
- Foundations are same consistency/mixed really well
- Face looks alive and fresh
- Coverage is amazing (very build-able)
- Has lasted all day (with a smidge of help from a primer)
- Completely removed all orange-y look
- Having to pay shipping and handling
- The wait for the sample
